I must admit I had the occasional bad day during circuit training, when nothing seemed to go right, especially if it was turbulent. My instructor demonstrated how stable the aircraft was, basically trimmed for level flight and very light touch of the controls, even with relatively big bumps, the aircraft would sort itself out. This helped a lot, as most of the 'turbulence' was actually me over-controlling.

As other's have mentioned, you will reach the stage where you'll get a feel for when the aircraft may need a gentle nudge or two.
